SWDTech

SWDTech started as a small business operating out of a lean-too in a side street, to a well stocked computer shop with a fully equipped workshop. Today, SWDTech can take care of any computer related emergency and supply an invaluable service to the Greater Swellendam region.

SWDTech is business partner to most of the residences, businesses, guest houses and farms in and around Swellendam!

Retail

You will find our shop is Station Street, Swellendam.

We sell computers and peripherals, laptops, replacement parts and consumables for most well known and trusted brands.

We also stock ink and toners for most popular brands of printers as well as cables, networking equipment (eg ADSL routers, range extenders, access points, repeaters etc)

Web Development

Our slogan “Hosting is about people“, is what we live by. In the technology age we can easily forget that all the computers, cell phones and other devices have one purpose only, to serve people. That’s why we provide only one service, “Web Hosting”. In this way we can focus on what we do best, leaving you free to do what you best, running your SMME or home based business. While as a hosting company we are able to provide web hosting for anyone in the world, we focus on providing a regional hosting service for the South Western District in the Western Cape, South Africa, from our base in Swellendam.

SWDTech is also your local ISP specialising in ADSL. We also do YahClick Satellite internet for the Swellendam, Heidelberg, Barrydale, Riviersonderend, Ashton, Bonnievale, Montagu region. We install anywhere in the Overberg and Klein Karoo Areas as far as Ladismith and Robertson. We are the only certified installers of the revolutionary YahClick satellite broadband in this area.

SWDTech Ticketing System[/button] Sales, service, repairs and upgrades are done on our premises by knowledgeable and certified technicians. We also offer an on-site installation service. Service is our pride and all work is guaranteed, which has helped us to build a solid reputation for honesty and pride of workmanship.

We use a ticketing system to ensure fairness and keep track of our work.

Since 2006 SWDTech is also the local Agency for VOX Telecom. This enables us to resell the wide array of Internet and Business services that VOX provides. VOX Telecom is one of the leading Internet Service Providers in South Africa and we are proud of our association with them.

SWDTech provides internet connectivity via ADSL and our award winning Fat Pipe data product which offers top quality, unshaped data at the lowest rates. It is currently the only ADSL product that rolls over unused data.

When deciding to get DSL the starting point and also the most fundamental step is for you to decide what your “ADSL Access Speed” requirements are. Whether you are a casual web-surfer or hardcore-internet user, we’ve got the solution for you. Simplified ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), the “asymmetric” in ADSL refers to the fact that the speed at which data is downloaded, the data coming to the end-user’s computer from the Internet, is faster than the rate for uploaded data, the data travelling from the user’s computer to the Internet.

Capped ADSL is a fixed amount of Gigabytes per month. It is usually unshaped and suitable for media streaming and gaming.

Uncapped ADSL gives you the power to surf, play and download as much as you like without going over your data cap.

With VOX’s revolutionary YahClick Satellite Broadband, we are in a position to provide broadband internet wherever it is needed. Now even the remotest sites can enjoy fast, stable internet as the only prerequisites are 220V power and clear line of site to the YahSat satellite.

YahClick works just like satellite TV (e.g. DStv) and operates according to the same technology; namely, a satellite in orbit that communicates with the mini dish outside your home at lightning fast speeds. Subscribers require both a data service plan and CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) aka satellite dish and modem/router. YahClick technology maximizes spectral efficiency through frequency re-use. While this sounds rather technical, it means that YahClick can provide high power, concentrated beams targeted over specific areas with high market potential. The ability to re-use frequencies in different locations enables greater efficiency in the use of the frequency spectrum. The stronger satellite signals require smaller dish sizes and ultimately bring down costs to subscribers. Vox Telecom is the South African service partner and will be offering a variety of YahClick Satellite Internet Service plans and value added products.
